The Ding-Dong Cart Is Coming!

Hey everyone! I’m really proud of this week’s strip. It’s one of my absolute favorites, ranking right up there with#6 . I like tapping into things that really nail the essence of childhood; things that can bring you right back to that time and place in your memory. Being hyper-sensitive to the dulcet tones of the “ding-dong cart” is something I feel everyone can identify with. It truly was an almost supernatural ability that kids possessed. The faintest trace of a warbly, out of tune musical note  in the summer air could send us bolting into the house to scrounge up the necessary funds for an Astro-pop, Creamcicle, or some other frozen delight. Kinda strange how we could almost sense that the ice cream truck was coming from miles away, yet we could be totally oblivious to our Mothers telling us to clean our rooms from the bottom of the stairs, isn’t it?

Notice anything different on the main page lately? Yep, that’s right, we now have Project Wonderful button ads that you can bid on to show off your own webcomic greatness! Not to mention the Skyscraper ad in the sidebar (also from Project Wonderful), and the Google Ads. If you have a webcomic or some other creative endeavour you want to show off, whip up a 160 X 600 Skyscraper banner or a 117 X 30 button and place a bid to advertise on Boxcar Astronaut!
